No module named 'django'

Hi, when starting my docker-compose I'm getting this Error in the netbox worker container:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/netbox/netbox/manage.py", line 8, in
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'

source Netbox V 2.10.3
target Netbox V 2.10.4
Netbox-Docker V 0.27

Well, clearly there's something wrong with your docker-compose file or the docker image it refers to, so where did you get them from? The current version of Netbox is v3.1.9, and Netbox-docker is 1.6.0, so what you have is very old.

Also, what do you mean by "source" and "target"?

[thgeese]

Yes know that it is very old. For that I figure out I have to first reach the Version 2.11.0 and then jump to Version 3.xx I also tried to use the actual netbox-docker 1.6.0 with no luck. Seems that I can not use netbox-docker 1.6 to deploy the very old Version 2.10.x

The error occurs when dumping my Backup into the image. I used this procedure:

• Clean Up the postgres volume

• start only postgres container

• dump the backup into postgres

• start the rest

And the error occurs just when the container starts, or when you go into the container with docker exec or similar?

But your existing netbox 2.10.3 is working correctly inside a container?

[thgeese]

yes that Version is OK. Reading/Updating/Backup/Restore all is working. Also so no errors inside the GUI. I can also access single Containers through Portainer or CLI.

Then I think your best bet is to go for latest possible v2.11 (2.11.12?) - at worst you could do this standalone rather than in a container. It will apply migrations and then you can export it again.

Then you can create v3.1.9 in a container, import the database from 2.11.12, and then when you start netbox it should apply the next set of migrations.

[thgeese]

sounds like a solution :-) I will give it a try

Got it working with netbox-container 1.2.0 and netbox version 2.11.12. Thx to ryanmerolle for the help on that.
